![NORTH SINAI, EGYPT - OCTOBER 22: People wave Egyptian flags as the second convoy of aid trucks crosses the Rafah border from the Egyptian side on October 22, 2023 in North Sinai, Egypt. The aid convoy, organized by a group of Egyptian NGOs, set off Saturday 14th October from Cairo for the Gaza-Egypt border crossing at Rafah. A week of tortuous negotiations followed about when the border, controlled by Egypt on one side and Hamas on the other, would be opened, until the first trucks were admitted on 21st October. On October 7th, the Palestinian militant group Hamas launched a surprise attack on border communities in southern Israel, spurring the most violent flare-up of the Israel-Palestine conflict in decades. Israel launched a vast bombing campaign in retaliation and has warned of an imminent ground invasion.(Photo by Mahmoud Khaled/Getty Images) People wave Egyptian flags near a truck carrying humanitarian aid.](https://i.cbc.ca/1.7004531.1697989819!/fileImage/httpImage/image.jpg_gen/derivatives/16x9_620/1738297322.jpg)
